Tuesday, February 14th, 2006Bono gave a great speech at the White House National Day of Prayer Breakfast a week and a half ago. He said a lot of things that not only show where his heart is for the poor and dying in third world countries, but also that he has moved beyond the contempt for the complacent […]
Jesus and Extreme Environmentalism
Saturday, February 11th, 2006This was the word of the day a while ago, and got me thinking:
ahimsa: The principle of refraining from harming any living being.
How much of what we would call an 'environmentalist' would Jesus be? It's a hard line for me to draw. Jesus certainly cares a great deal about his creation, his world. But […]
Bertrand Russell on Liberal Outlook
Friday, February 10th, 2006Interesting thoughts by Mark Dever (via JT - thanks!):
Bertrand Russell, the late, well-known, British philosopher wrote in 1950 that “The essence of the liberal outlook lies not in what opinions are held, but in how they are held: instead of being held dogmatically, they are held tentatively, and with a consciousness that new evidence may […]
Ask Everyonce
Wednesday, February 8th, 2006I've added a new section for submitting questions! Keep in mind that I don't know much, but I'm counting on lots of people I know who DO know lots of stuff to help answer questions! Feel free to fire away, and I'll be making posts with answers soon!
Apprenticeship, Timothy, and the Way of Jesus
Wednesday, February 8th, 2006How often in life do we choose our own models? By models, I mean our examples — do we choose wisely? Or do our models frequently choose us? I guess the real heart of the matter is this question: For any given area of life, who taught us to do things the way we do them? A thoughtful response […]
New Dallas Willard Book, June 06
Tuesday, February 7th, 2006Found this on Amazon today. Thought you guys might be interested — I've put it on my wishlist, and will definitely be reading this soon after it comes out, no doubt! Woohoo!
Einstein on Understanding
Tuesday, February 7th, 2006If you can't explain something in such a way a child can understand it, you probably don't understand it yourself.

Only Two Responses
Monday, February 6th, 2006Sunday morning, we discussed that there are only two possible responses to the understood Word of God. You can either reject the message or receive it.
Rejecting the Word of God (be it Scripture, Spirit, or from the body) is to decide to hold on to my own persuasions, choosing to believe a lie. This […]
Calling All Angels
Wednesday, February 1st, 2006I listened to this song a few times today, Calling All Angels by Train. It's insightful into where the writer is spiritually. He calls to 'all the angels' asking for hope, comfort, and even explanation for the state of the world. His questions (I put some of the song below) are certainly valid, but that […]
